Kate A Hardy
Author and artist


Kate A Hardy is a writer, artist and Londoner at present living in France with her musician husband, son and numerous animals. At various times, Kate has been a book-shop assistant, DJ, estate agent blurb-writer, Mars Bar factory worker, cleaner, gardener, sous chef, barmaid, waitress, illustrator, and photographic stylist. The latter requires a sub-category of just about anything imaginable: detective, taxi driver, model maker, inventor, location finder, robber, schoolteacher, dog trainer and actor. 

Kate’s current project is a series of books set in late 21st century London - Londonia.


While getting out a pool in 2015, an image of a woman living in a church with a horse in East London in the late 21st century appeared in my mind . . . Still dripping, I sketched out the first paragraph which, after several years, became Londonia, the novel.

I have lived with this cast of characters over time, their voices and their surroundings becoming ever clearer as I write more about this curious future world.

Many readers have said - great film material! and it would/could/will be, but in the meantime composer Mark Lockett and I have created a fully immersive audiobook, narrated by myself - launch in January 2025.
